Re: how to avoid homing missiles

Yeah homers lock on a hell of a lot tighter in D1. It works both ways though. You take a few more hits from the superhulks, but the better homers make it a lot easier to take out those quick little class one drillers.

Re: Hardest Secret in Descent 1

Speaking of level 12, it took me awhile to find that 3rd invulnerability. The cloak in the red key room in level 15 was another one that I found by accident. And finally, the laser you find in level 1 (one that should be easy but took me awhile to accidentally run into)

Re: Hardest Secret in Descent 1

At the start of level go through the door on the left. Keep going straight and you can go through another door right in front of you and end up in a room with three lasers. There's a secret door in the ceiling that leads you to the megas. You have to go through a couple class 1 drillers, a super hul...

Hardest Secret in Descent 1

I feel like I've found all the secret doors and everything in D1, but I'm curious about what you all think is the hardest secret to find in the game. Maybe there's some out there I still haven't found.

Re: Music in the Shareware version of Descent 1

I love the shareware music. I recorded it with dosbox and saved it to my itunes. It's the music I listen to when I play D2.

Re: The tactical choice between Quad laser 4 and Plasma

Do the level 4 quads stop a robot from firing on insane? I feel like it doesn't. The one advantage I see from the plasma cannon is that quicker robots can't dodge your fire as easily. Drillers and lifters can dodge quad lasers without much issue.

Re: Which robot has the creepiest sound?

Myself, I still have trouble distinguishing most of the robot sounds from D2. If someone played the sounds to me and asked what robots made them, I'd probably get no more than half of them right. I totally agree with you on that. I think that's a big reason that D2 is harder than D1. Being able to ...

Re: Silly Descent Moments

End of secret level 1 on D1. Killed one of the supervisor bots by the exit after destroying the reactor. The sumbitch left behind 3 concussion platform robots. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the exit.

D1 Skill Bonus

I was just wondering how the skill bonus is calculated at the end of each level in Descent 1.
